CADE Marbella

The government of Andalusia have a division called CADE (Consejería de Innovación, Ciencia y Empresa). For NINE MONTHS I have been trying to solicit their assistance in ANY way with FilmAmora.

I thought maybe they would be interested in helping me find employees: No

Funding for innovation: No (we aren't innovative, despite the fact that no one in Spain is doing what we will do)

Funding for a creative pursuit: No - we aren't creative because despite the fact that we will be producing video content and streaming video content of other filmmakers in Spain.

Today was the last straw, really. A month ago I went up to Marbella to meet the particularly unhelpful and incompetent Eva Pizarro Leon. She asked me for a business plan, which I supplied (all 25 pages of it with SWOT analysis and everything! Aren't I clever lol).
It took her a month to read it. Until this morning. She read the first 2 pages, did a google search and told me that because we weren't in the first page of results (duh, we aren't accepting customers yet! How can we be high on Google!) and because there were 4 other companies doing this already she thought we were a waste of time and to go away.

Of course, all she did was look at Google. So, if she had looked at the companies she mentioned she would have seen that one was in Argentina (!), one simply had Alquiler (rental) in the keywords and pages but actually only sold, one was the website from our supplier listing titles that video shops could buy to rent out and the other was the one I listed in our business plan as competition (though they only have 8,000 titles to our 38,000 and cost 3 times the price).

Yes - she is that incompetent! But, she is the guardian of the money. It is seemingly in her best interest to not give it out!

She told us we were not innovative even in our technology... but she never asked for information about the inner workings of the website. She said 'it was just a website' and of course websites can't be innovative, can they Google, Amazon, Facebook?

Anyway, that's that I guess. We are doomed to failure now (according to her).

CADE, Consejería de Innovación, Ciencia y Empresa - you are simply an excuse to give incompetent bureaucrats who can't contribute to society a job.
